Microsoft: No decision yet on further EU appeal

One of the key questions following today’s antitrust ruling against Microsoft by the European Court of First Instance is whether Microsoft will appeal. But the company hasn’t yet decided, said Brad Smith, Microsoft’s general counsel, during a news conference with reporters in Brussels, Belgium, a few moments ago.

“We just need to think about this,” Smith said. “It’s a serious and substantial decision and it deserves serious thought rather than an instantaneous decision.”
